got to write a yahtzee program

[chiodos823]

ok so today in class i was given the instructions to write a program that allows you to play yahtzee. must calculate scores on its own. so far i got

// yahtzee.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;
void gotoxy(int x, int y)
{
	COORD coord;
	coord.X = x;
	coord.Y = y;
	SetConsoleCursorPosition(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), coord);
}

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	
	
	


	

	srand(time(0));
	const int DICE_ROLLS = 5;
	int firstRoll = rand() % 6 + 1;
	int secondRoll = rand() % 6 + 1;
	int thirdRoll = rand() % 6 + 1;
	int fourthRoll = rand() % 6 + 1;
	int fifthRoll = rand() % 6 + 1;
	int roll = rand() % 6 + 1;
	int allRoles = firstRoll + secondRoll + thirdRoll + fourthRoll + fifthRoll;
	int one;
	int two;
	int three;
	int four;
	int five;
	int six;
	int totalTop;
	int totalBottom;
	int threekind;
	int fourkind;
	int fullHouse;
	int smStraight;
	int lgStraight;
	int yahtzee;
	int chance;
	int bonus = 35;
	int subTotal;
	char rollKey;
	char keepAnother = 'y';
	int keepDie;
	int dieKeptCount = 0;
	int rollAgain = DICE_ROLLS - dieKeptCount;
	
	
	/*gotoxy (48,52);
	cout << "Ones: \n";*/
	
	
	
	cout << "Welcome to Yahtzee!!\n\n";

	cout << "Press 'R' to roll.\n";
	cin >> rollKey;

	if (rollKey == 'r'){
	cout << "Die 1: \t"<<firstRoll<<"\n";
	cout << "Die 2: \t"<<secondRoll<<"\n";
	cout << "Die 3: \t"<<thirdRoll<< "\n";
	cout << "Die 4: \t"<<fourthRoll<< "\n";
	cout << "Die 5: \t"<<fifthRoll<< "\n\n";
	}



do{
	cout << "Please enter die number you would like to keep(1-5), or 0 for none : ";
	cin >> keepDie;
	dieKeptCount++;
}
	while (keepDie != 0); 


	switch (rollAgain) {
	case 0: cout << "You roll : " <<roll<< "\n";
			cout << "You roll : " <<roll<< "\n";
			cout << "You roll : " <<roll<< "\n";
			cout << "You roll : " <<roll<< "\n";
			cout << "You roll : " <<roll<< "\n";break;
	case 1: cout << "You roll : " <<roll<< "\n"; 
			cout << "You roll : " <<roll<< "\n";
			cout << "You roll : " <<roll<< "\n";
			cout << "You roll : " <<roll<< "\n";break;
	case 2: cout << "You roll : " <<roll<< "\n"; 
			cout << "You roll : " <<roll<< "\n";
			cout << "You roll : " <<roll<< "\n";break;
	case 3: cout << "You roll : " <<roll<< "\n";
			cout << "You roll : " <<roll<< "\n";break;
	case 4: cout << "You roll : " <<roll<< "\n";break;
	}
			
	


	

	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	system("pause");
	return 0;
}

and for some reason when i compile, the switch statement will not initialize :(

any help would be great

Many things to improve here, but th one you need is that line 59 happens before the lines 82-87 loop so on line 59 dieKeptCount = 0 and thus rollAgain = 5. There is no 5'th case in your switch.
